Oldboy.....? (I hope)

Ooooh that would be my favourite steelbook ever!

I made my own mockup a while ago:

Spoiler

"Oldboy" would be debossed ideally

OT: I already have Battle Royal (3 disc with booklet and slip case) so I'm hesitant in ordering this.. maybe if it gets confirmed to be embossed/debossed I might order one

 

[wolfmansgotnards]

I take it you've never seen the film?

Yes, I own it on Arrow bluray. Not great.

 

[firubi]

Easy pass for me, did not like the film and the steelbook is very simple.

Erm, it is:

Steelbook will have a PREMIUM finish and will also be embossed / debossed.

Pre-ordered this, I was expecting this to be more than £12.99 to be honest so it's kind of a bargain for what looks to be a great steelbook

Agreed, I guess each disc adds £1? It's clever timing, might as well cash in on the hunger games hype.

 

[Frasr]

Erm, it is:

Oh, so it is. I didn't notice that
hmm.. I think I'll pass as I've been buying too much steels lately.

Let us all hold hands and praise the steelbook Gods for blessing us....

Ah my apologies mate.

Each to their own and all that, for me it's a superb film that I can watch over and over

Will this be the first Arrow steelbook to have any embossing/debossing? from the ones Ive seen so far it might be. Also is it any more limited than the usual Arrow steels? whats their usual production run for steels?

This seems to be one of those titles that could end up very desirable, cult film, limited run, only (so far) blu ray steelbook, 'premium' finishes.......I have the slipboxed 3 disk edition, and have almost bought the limited box set a few times but the steel looks like a decent alternative....
